Today I made international news for talking about the fact that I used to work at McDonalds before becoming a model. This is true and I know quite a few people who had similar jobs before / during working in the creative industry. I don't think I'm more special than anyone else as such but want to remind people that if they do have a goal, their circumstances shouldn't get in the way! Also a kind reminder that everyone deserves to be able to share their story because you never know who it may inspire and who wants to hear it!
